Just a heads up to those looking for a drive, DO NOT USE NVMe drives since they do not fit. Ask me how I know.

Enjoy!

Wed, 05 Jun 2019 00:41:17 +0000http://jure.tuta.si/?p=40#comment-1342I just purchased the following adapter: Micro SATA Cables M.2 NGFF SSD to 18 Pin Blade Adapter for Asus UX31 UX21 Zenbook from Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MV5VYJI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am debating on a 500G or 1 Terabyte. Anything smaller is simply inadequate. Some people have warned that Some newer specs may be too high for the older UX31. ARE THESE 1 Terabyte Options compatible with this Adapter using UX31A:

Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB M.2 SATA Internal SSD (MZ-N6E1T0BW)
I edit a lot of Graphics and store lots of images for my business. Speed is not too important, but Capacity is a MUST. Any Thoughts and Suggestions would be appreciated.

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 19:02:29 +0000http://jure.tuta.si/?p=40#comment-1321Have you tried with external device (mouse or keyboard) plugged into the usb. This should probably work if device is sleeping and usb-wakeup is enabled in the bios and/or windows.

Regarding shorting the pins on the connector – you should try to find schematics and follow the traces. Second option is schematics of the keyboard.

Third option would be (i dont know your electronics skills, but this is how i would go about it):
1. Try to identify pins connected to the ground and pins that are high (e.g. 3.3v, 5v, etc.) on the motherboard connector. It is high probability that these pins are on either of the edges.
2. When you have identified GND and high pins on the MB try to see if power button on the keyboard shorts any of these pins to another pin on the keyboard connector.

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 13:12:36 +0000http://jure.tuta.si/?p=40#comment-1320Anyone know if there is an alternate way to power up the UX31A? My keyboard connector is finally shot after fixing it a hundred times over the last 7 years. New keyboard won’t work either, it’s the connector. Wondering if anyone has experimented and found pins somewhere on the board to replicate the power button?
